Denon has a number of good choices, as noted, also Sherwood Newcastle and HK could be considered. That's a large(!) budget you've set aside for the AVR/BD, if it were me, I would take a few hundred off of that and add a couple more surrounds to your speaker budget if your room is medium or larger. You should be able to get a nice AVR/BD combo for less than $2G easily.

Oh, sorry, forgot to say Welcome!!
